Half an hour later.
The war clouds over Ascension Island have not completely dissipated.
Azure Dragon Form's Lin Ze tore through the sky, galloping from the direction of Land of Iron. The huge dragon body dragged a long Azure Flame trail in the air, and in the blink of an eye it was hovering above Ascension Island.
Lin Ze Dragon Eyes lowered his head and scanned the battlefield below.
Kumogakure Ninja's corpses, charred land, broken trees, broken Kunai and Forehead Protector are scattered all over the island, as well as large tidal flats corroded by venom into pits.
At this point, the battle is nearing its end.
Only the northwest corner of the coast was left, with more than fifty Kumogakure Ninja leaning against the rocks and resisting. The leader was a one-armed Jōnin, who was roaring and commanding the remaining troops to form a formation.
But they are facing the siege of Ryūchi Cave Snake Princess, Mountain Lord, Qingtian and Kisame. Their destruction is only a matter of time.
In the open space on the other side, more than three hundred Kumogakure Ninjas were disarmed and squatting on the ground with their hands on their heads. Ninjas of Dragon Release Villages used Sealing Jutsus to restrain Chakras one by one and escorted them onto the ship.
The dragon's body shrank, the green light converged, and Lin Ze landed on the ruins in the center of Ascension Island.
"Master!"
Tagitsuhime arrived immediately and was covered in injuries.
Purple Cheongsam was also damaged a lot, revealing a large area of spring. Even Reanimated Body and Hashirama Senju were not easy to deal with.
Followed by White Tiger, Kisame, Mountain Lord, Qingtian, and Uchiha Itachi being supported by Ichikishimahime.
Lin Ze's eyes swept over everyone.
Mountain Lord's huge tiger body was covered with wounds, Blue Steam all over Qingtian's body had dissipated, his skin was dark red after overload, and his arms were still shaking slightly.
White Tiger and Kisame had long breaths, but Kisame had a trace of worry on his face, and he secretly looked at Lin Ze.
The most serious one is Uchiha Itachi.
His face was as pale as paper, blue veins bulged around his eyes, and blood and tears were constantly oozing from the corners of his eyes. The arm being supported by Ichikishimahime was so thin that it was almost skin and bones, and his whole person was extremely depressed.
Lin Ze frowned slightly.
He raised his hand, and the cyan healing Chakra condensed into a ball and pressed it on Uchiha Itachi's chest.
This is the life energy that comes with Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon. Although it cannot cure Bloodline Disease, it can at least provide temporary relief.
"Thank you Lord Lin Ze."
Uchiha Itachi said softly, his voice hoarse, but looking at him like this, I'm afraid his days are numbered.
Lin Ze had no choice but to nod, turned to White Tiger and asked:
"How's the situation?"
White Tiger took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said:
"Two-Tails was taken away by Obito. In addition, Obito suddenly turned against him when he was evacuating. He used Hashirama Senju's Reanimated Body to sneak attack Killer B and took Eight-Tails away with him."
"However, Tailed Beast's body and Rinnegan are still there. Obito probably didn't have time to carefully search Laboratory, and Yin Release: Ghost Firefly is also intact."
Hearing this, Lin Ze frowned slightly.
White Snake Sage also fell from mid-air at this time and returned to the form of an old woman.
There was a trace of remorse on her old face:
"Master, I was careless. Akatsuki did not attack Dragon Release Village. Their target was only Two-Tails from beginning to end."
White Tiger also spoke at this time:
"This action of Obito is very strange. He did not choose to capture Nine-Tails, but only took Two-Tails."
"I suspect that he may be planning to use the Nine-Tails Chakra in Kinkaku and Ginkaku to fill it up."
Lin Ze listened and nodded slightly.
But he did not respond immediately, but raised his eyes to look at the sea in the distance.
There, the last few dozen Kumogakure Ninja who were still resisting were being besieged by a group of snakes, and the screams gradually became sparse.
There was a flaw in the plan.
A huge flaw.
Lin Ze Close your eyes and review the entire action in your mind.
He went to Land of Iron in person to attract firepower. This was originally a bait.
According to expectations, if Akatsuki wants to seize the opportunity to seize Tailed Beast, the troops will inevitably be divided into two groups--
Attack Ascension Island all the way, attack Dragon Release Village all the way.
As long as they appear, they will inevitably fall into the pre-arranged Sealing Barrier, and then he will rush back and attack from both sides.
Even in order to catch Obito, Mangekyō of Ryota Uchiha was handed over to Uchiha Itachi.
This plan is not subtle, but it is sound.
But the cooperation between Akatsuki and Kumogakure, as well as their tactical choice of having no interest in Nine-Tails and only taking Two-Tails, completely exceeded his prediction.
The defensive pressure increased sharply, and Sealing Barrier had no time to start, or in other words, it couldn't stop it even if it started.
Due to the information gap, Lin Ze thought he was on the fifth floor.
As a result, although Obito and Black Zetsu are on the third floor, they are in the building next door...
Why does this mistake occur?
Lin Ze opened his eyes and looked at his right hand that had transformed into a human form.
Once, when he was at Konoha, he tried to do everything without leakage.
Before the mission, all possibilities are repeatedly deduced, and you will never show mercy to the enemy. You will kill when you can without leaving any consequences.
At that time, he knew very well that he was just a time traveler with some adventures, and he would be shattered into pieces if he was not careful.
But now?
Kumogakure has had a feud with him for many years.
From Land of Wind's Toroi, to Third Shinobi World War's fight, to Third Raikage's hunting with Two-Tails and Eight-Tails.
With his original strength, after killing Third Raikage, he could directly defeat Kumogakure.
Although Nagato and others existed at that time, it is understandable.
But after the battle of Land of Water, Nagato and others completely became Nezumi. Compared with Five Great Shinobi Villages in terms of strength, he has already formed a crushing crush, and he can definitely come for revenge.
But he didn't.
He always felt that whether it was Kage Level or Five Great Shinobi Villages, it was no longer worth his trouble.
His eyes had already been cast on Otsutsuki Kaguya, on the mysterious existence that killed "Earth Dragon", and on the wider world.
But he forgot.
He is now bursting out with all his strength, but it is only the first time he has entered Six Paths level.
Among Shinobi World, Rinnegan, Impure World Reincarnation, one hundred thousand White Zetsu, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Five Great Shinobi Villages... these forces gathered together were enough to pose a threat to him.
Just like Land of Iron and his group this time, if Might Duy and Might Guy weren't closely related to him, they might have kicked him with two "Night Guy" marks.
Lin Ze was silent for a long time.
Everyone around them noticed the solemn atmosphere, and no one dared to speak out.
Half a moment.
Lin Ze slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at White Snake Sage and said in a calm voice:
"How many Kumogakure Ninja are still resisting on the island?"
White Snake Sage immediately replied, "About thirty-seven people, scattered around the cliff on the northeast side and near the entrance of Underground Laboratory."
"Kill, leave no one alive."
Lin Ze There was no ups and downs in the tone.
White Snake Sage was startled.
She has followed Lin Ze for many years and is very aware of Lin Ze's behavior--
Although he is not afraid of killing, he is never eager to kill.
It is extremely rare for an order like this to be carried out to kill the opponent when they have no power to fight back.
But she didn't ask any more questions.
"Yes."
White Snake Sage turned and left.
After a while, a series of screams came from the northeast side, and soon fell silent.
Lin Ze looked at Tagitsuhime again:
"Those who have surrendered will be escorted back to Dragon Release Village, held in solitary confinement, and interrogated strictly. They will ask for all the details about the cooperation between Kumogakure and Akatsuki, as well as any information they know about Obito and Nagato."
"Even if it's just a rumor about the stronghold that you've heard about, you have to ask about it."
Tagitsuhime nodded heavily:
"Understood."
Lin Ze paused and glanced at everyone present.
His voice was still calm, but every word contained an unmistakable coldness:
"From now on, Dragon Release Village enters the highest combat readiness state."
"Mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized to search for traces of Akatsuki throughout the Shinobi World area, focusing on investigating the Underground ruins around Kumogakure, Land of Rain border, Kusagakure, and any place where ancient Sealing Jutsu patterns may exist."
"Ryūchi Cave's snake group is all mobilized. As long as it is Obito, Nagato, Black Zetsu, or any suspicious person in red cloud and black robe, once discovered, report it immediately, and unauthorized contact is strictly prohibited."
"At the same time, strengthen the monitoring of Kumogakure."
Then, Lin Ze looked at White Snake Sage who quickly rushed back after finishing Kumogakure Ninja:
"Raikage is dead. Kumogakure is leaderless at the moment. If Obito can cooperate with them once, they can cooperate a second time. There is a high probability that they are with Land of Lightning."
White Snake Sage bows:
"Yes!"
Orders were issued one after another, and the huge war machines Dragon Release Village and Ryūchi Cave began to operate at full speed.
At the same time.
Although the senior executives of major Ninja Village who left Land of Iron are still on their way back, they have already issued orders through various means. All major Ninja Villages have begun to dispatch personnel to search for the whereabouts of Akatsuki personnel all over the world.
